UCLA Protest Spox: ‘Given that the University of California Is Founded on Colonialism, It’s Inherently a Violent Institution’

UNKNOWN FEMALE: “I think it’s more than divestment as well. I think, given the fact that the University of California is founded on colonialism, it’s inherently a violent institution. There needs to be an adjustment of U.S. imperialism and its ties to you the UC system and how it perpetuates war and violence abroad. Not only abroad, but also here locally. We see this with the — the — the brutality, the police brutality, that black and brown students face here at UCLA, Arab students, Muslim students, Palestinian students, and I myself have personally have been, like faced that — those violences that the UC has perpetuated and continues to perpetuate. It’s not just a means of divestment, it’s a divestment from Zionism. Yeah.”
